EBONG VER 1.0 (Free : Public Domain software)
=============
[Intro]
EBONG is a preprocessor that writes bangtex files from a
file in "Rapid Roman Bangla" format.
bangtex, developed by Palas Baran PAl is the LaTeX way of generating
crisp bengali text (Read Publication Quality PDF) from a tex source.
EBONG, written by Shibaji Banerjee (hopefullY) makes the task
easier (It is more linear and easier to remember, even after a really
long break)
[How it works]: The comamnd
ebong.py xyz.b
Will produce xyz.tex. This xyz.tex file can be texified normally, if you
already have the bangtex package in your TeX setup. If you do not already
have it, you may obtain it from
http://tnp.saha.ernet.in/~pbpal/bangtex/bangtex.html
To preprocess the userguide, use
ebong.py eb.b
in ebong/doc. Alternately you can just read the PS / PDF files eb.ps / eb.pdf
[Usage Notes]
In MS you can just use
ebong eb.b
In *nix you can rename the file ebong.py to ebong and do a chmod +x ebong
to achive the same effect.

ebong.py : The application
README.txt : Read this first
doc\eb.pdf : Userguide
doc\eb.ps : ditto

[REQUIREMENTS]
Platform : Any platform that can make LaTeX and Python work.
A working TeX setup like MikTeX or TeTeX
bangtex
python > 2.3 (lesser will probably do)
